Version 6.0.0.25 Release Notes
Posted on March 10, 2010 in Software

Software Development / IT Director
Since the release of version 6 of PPS Plus - Home Health Edition, the technical team has been hard at work handling installations, support requests and customer suggestions. If you've had an opportunity to speak with one of our technical team members, I hope that the experience more than met your expectations. We strive to provide our customers with the highest level of support to go along with, what we consider to be, the premier tool for clinical data analysis and reporting in the home health industry.
The release of version 6 was a significant milestone, in that it was a return to the drawing board for us. We looked at where the application was and where we wanted it to go. Version 6 is the first step in that direction. Look out for some exciting new features and services from PPS Plus in the future.
With that out of the way, if you're reading this, you're probably wondering what's new in the application. This list isn't all-inclusive, but it does cover the major additions, fixes and improvements to the application since its initial release in December. If you've been waiting on or looking for a specific feature or bit of functionality that you don't see below, please contact your account manager or a member of our technical staff (find our contact info here). We always welcome your suggestions and critiques.
